Training plans

Do not worry if you have never run before. NOW is a good time to start!
Our race has 3 distance options and you can choose which one to run.
This section contains a training guide for these three distances.
If this is your first race, and you are going to keep up your running activities in the future, we recommend you to follow these training schemes:

For a distance of 5 km, give yourself at least 3-4 weeks to start training;

For a distance of 10 km, give yourself at least 8-10 weeks to start training;

For a distance of 21.1 km, give yourself at least 2-3 months to start training.

How to start running?

The most important thing is to hit the ground running! You may have difficulty at first but you’ll find it easier as you go along and make running a habit. You will take enjoyment in regular runs, and looking at yourself in the mirror and admiring your leaner physique you are going to be proud of yourself.
If you have already made a decision to start running, but for a few months you have been postponing the first run from Monday to Monday, you need to take drastic actions. Assign a firm date for your run training start. And don’t move it back under any circumstances. Alternatively, you can even bet on it with someone, whether you become a runner or not. Do not give up!In this section we will soon add a training plan to prepare for your first 2K race.
